She reported the matter to the Buruburu Police Station under the OB Number; 4/13/03/08/16 prompting the police to summon the counsel to the police station.

By 3pm on Thursday, the lawyer who has been prosecuting several high profile cases had not honoured the summons and the police had not arrested him.

His wife told the Nation.co.ke that Mr Ashimosi, who they have been married for 15 years, has been assaulting her to the extent of losing two of her teeth during one of the assault episodes.

“I have been reporting these cases to police stations but he keeps telling me that nothing will happen to him because he is a high ranking prosecutor,” his wife said.

She said her husband has assaulted her in the presence of their two children and that in the latest incident on Sunday, he cleaned blood and broken furniture before the police arrived.

“He arrived home late at night and I was preparing to go to church, some church members started calling me to inquire where I was because we were all supposed to travel using my car and he picked them.
